At 3-1, Rain or Shine is eyeing a share of the top spot alongside idle co-leaders NLEX and TNT, both carrying 4-1 records.
The Elasto Painters are fresh off a dramatic 112-111 victory over Titan Ultra, a game that came down to the wire with Anton Asistio calmly sinking four clutch free throws to secure the win.
Adrian Nocum starred with an all-around showing of 24 points, eight rebounds, four assists, three steals, and a block, while Santi Santillan earned Player of the Game honors with 21 points — including four crucial triples in the final period that kept Rain or Shine in control.
Now, the Elasto Painters aim to sustain their hot streak and continue their climb up the standings against a Terrafirma side (1-3) reeling from back-to-back losses, the latest a 93-104 defeat to Magnolia.
A win would push Rain or Shine into serious contention for early leadership in the tightly contested All-Filipino race.
